"All that grows must decompose." (Cletus J. Diggs)

When Cletus J. Diggs gets a visit from his buddy Jasper and learns about the dead man sticking boot-first out of the fishing hole, he has no idea what it will lead to. How could he? Old Mill is famous for a lot of things - good fishing, barbecue, oversized satellite dishes and disappearing beer; it is not known for genetic research, ancient rituals, or alien abduction. From the moment Cletus and Sheriff Bob drag the corpse from the fishing hole to the final moments of terror, the action is nonstop, tense, and filled with surprises.

Between the Reverend Dozier and his church, the swamp witch, the albino twins, and the local lodge’s well-hidden secrets, the strange events in Old Mill, NC, are pretty much out of control. Only Cletus, ordained minister, common law attorney, journalist, private investigator, and jack of all trades can draw together the people and resources necessary to set things right. The question is, can he do it before it’s too late?

This edition includes the short story "The Not Quite Right Reverend Cletus J. Diggs & the Fruit of Another Vine". Also included is the author's introduction to The Not Quite Right Reverend Cletus J. Diggs & the Crazy Case of Foreman James, as well as an excerpt from that novel!
